Do we have enough evidence to reconstruct the New Testament text? Or did early scribes corrupt it beyond repair? Daniel B. Wallace and Bart D. Ehrman debate the issue of if we can trust the text of the New Testament at Southern Methodist University on October 1, 2011. At the time, this was the largest attended debate on the text of the NT ever. Dr. Mark A. Chancey, Professor of Religious Studies at SMU, serves as MC.
